INNOVATION

Intellectual Property Panel

Virtually all creators, as well as arts and cultural organizations, are faced today with licensing opportunities both as the owner (licensor) and potential licensee of intellectual property. Understanding licensing has never been more important, and various issues arising out of contractual licensing arrangements will be addressed from the perspective of both parties. This R&D program will focus on intellectual property (IP) law, with a primer on some of the more pressing legal concerns for artists and creatives today, such as the distinction between ideas and expression, the use of appropriated images and text, as well as fair use.
